Everton director of football Kevin Thelwell opens up on Sean Dyche plan, next step of evolution and how Everton can be 'elite' once again
The club's director of football identified European football and challenges for silverware as among the long-term aims he is working towards - but stressed any progress has to be sustainable and built on solid foundations.
In a detailed interview with the Training Ground Guru podcast, Thelwell provided insight into the work going on behind the scenes at Finch Farm and the Royal Liver Building. Thelwell was tasked with overhauling Everton's football operation when he was appointed just over 18 months ago. His work has unfolded against the backdrop of financial troubles and managerial uncertainty.
"That is not an issue for me, I think it is a privilege to work at a big club like Everton. It is not so much about saying we need to finish here one year and there the next, it is about saying how do we find solutions to these short and medium term problems that we have got and then, come on, how do we get back to where we really want to be and where people expect us to be?"
"So for me if you are inside this space, this Dogs of War/School of Science piece then I think it is understanding if you can find a way of playing the game that epitomises those two things then you have got a chance... for us we should be building on those two pillars and people should see that in all of our teams."
